Giorgio for Men - anything but mainstream

I've been testing Giorgio for Men for hours tonight. This is a blast! I seldom have fantasies about a fragrance, but here I very soon remembered how beautiful I would feel if a man greeted me with a kiss on the cheek and perfumed with Giorgio. I would enjoy it and I would certainly spontaneously compliment him on his great perfume.

How should I describe him? In the beginning extremely strong charisma. Very masculine, confident, cultivated soapy and dusty powdery. The base, only many many hours later, cautiously sweet. At the end I perceive a pleasant composition of musk, vanilla and tonka bean, which is still clearly fragrant. A very complex creation, whose many beautiful ingredients can be read in the pyramid. A tremendously strong eau de toilette.

You should definitely give it some time before going out, otherwise it is too crass. And you should definitely dose discreetly, otherwise it will be too violent.

I think 'Giorgio for Men' is very suitable for parties and special events. You will certainly attract attention with this scent and should therefore be able to cope with it. Freshly applied for cuddling it would be much too strong and obtrusive for me; also the top and heart note would be too linear. I like the drydown to be quieter and more intimate. Then Giorgio for Men smells seductively powdery and finishes with a fine hint of subtle sweetness. However, still well perceptible. It is possible that he unfolds his true beauty in a man only the next morning, when he has become one with his wearer.

Although as a woman I occasionally love to wear men's fragrances, I don't know yet whether Giorgio for Men is also suitable as a women's fragrance. It takes courage to carry him. Not only for women
It's already a fragrance for men - not for boys.

I would like to thank treasure hunters sincerely for sampling this extraordinary fragrance, which has been unjustly forgotten because its weddings are over. Then as now 'Giorgio for Men' smells anything but mainstream.

FAST. No tragedy today either: A fine seasoning classic

ANNOUNCER:
You approach again, wavering scents,
That once early to young nose showed.
Am I trying to hold you this time?
Do I feel my heart today inclined to that madness?
You press on! well, then, you may rule,
As ye from the arm as mist around me rise;
My bosom feels youthfully shaken
From the magic breath that weathers your train.
You bring with you the images of glad days,
And some dear shadows rise;
Like an old, half-faded legend
Comes first love and friendship up with it;
The pain becomes new, it repeats the lament
Life's labyrinthine wandering course.

And he who otherwise delights in this fragrance,
If he remembers, wanders around at Parfumo, distracted.
A shiver seizes me, tear follows tear,
The stern heart, it feels mild and soft;
What I smell here comes as if from afar,
And what vanished becomes realities to me.

[Powerhouse] REACTOR:
Who wished very much to please the crowd,
Especially because it lives and lets live.
Top notes are whipped up fruity-spicy,
And everyone expects a feast.
We sit already, with high nostrils,
Serenely there and would like to be amazed.
Who knows how to reconcile the people's smell;
True, they are not used to such abundance,
But they have smelt an awful lot.

KENNER:
How speak I now of that variegated multitude,
Spicy heart notes that delight the organ?
Reveal to you the waving throng,
That softly and flatteringly draws us to the whirlpool.
Where rose and carnation pure fragrance blossoms,
Where cinnamon and cedar bless our hearts
With orris root and sandal patch nourish.
Ah! what sprang in California there,
What an olfactory brain then imagined,
Strong, much, harmonious was it and still smells successful today,
Pervaded the wild disco time violence.
Often, when it first through years penetrated,
It's a delight in remembered form.
What shines is born for the moment,
That which is real remains unvanquished to posterity.

TIME CRITICAL PERSON:
If only I should not hear of posterity.
Suppose we were to talk of new'n perfumes,
What would be left of our present juice?
Aquatics, sweet stuff, niche knick-knacks.
And bathtub stuff, dreary, gets on your nerves.
So just be smart and show yourself knowledgeable,
Let retro stuff from the Internet's bulging archives,
Guerlains, Carons, Aramis, Patous & Co,
And, mark you well! Also smell this Giorgio!

REACTOR.
In the end, however, the base remains:
Honey moss, tonka musk & benzoin going slow.
You can force the mass only by mass,
Each one finally chooses for himself.
He who brings much will bring some;
And everyone goes out satisfied:
Vanilla-amber, mildly sweet, delightful!
Such a ragout, it could succeed then.

A man who thinks to act right,
Must hold to the best tool.
And, what remains the very best,
Many a man comes to Parfumo to read.
One hurries here absentmindedly, as to the masquerade festivals,
And curiosity only inspires every step;
The ladies give themselves and their perfume to the best
And play along without fee.

Who divides the flowing always same row
That it stirs rhythmically?
Who calls the individual to the general consecration,
Where it beats in glorious chords?
Who lets the storm rage to passions?
The evening fragrance in earnest glow?
Who pours all the fair spring blossoms
On the beloved's path?

Who weaves the insignificant green leaves
To the wreath of honour merits of every kind?
Who secures Olympus? unites gods?
The poet's power, in perfume revealed.
You know, on the perfumo stage
Each one tries what he likes;
Therefore I spare you this day
Not the Giorgio, not the Goethe.
There's no lack of colourful birds here.
They stride in the wide perfume house
The whole circle of fragrances
And they walk with noses wide open
From the head through the heart to the bases.
.......
Giorgio for Men was certainly more massive, more powerful and with more tinsel in the past.
But even today it is still finely spicy, noble soapy & good. And always a nice one!
Great fragrance for little money.

"Back then...

...was much better - and made of wood!" I often heard my elders say, with an ironic wink at the second part of the sentence.
Because yes, not everything was better in the past. Some things were better, many things were easier, some things were also very bad.
But in terms of scents, for my nose, almost everything back then is better than today.

I freely confess to a certain nostalgia regarding my childhood decade. Shoulder pads, oversized blazers, jogging suits in very bad colors, bands like The Cure, Duran Duran, Erasure, New Order, Depeche Mode laid foundations for the black scene, we sent packages to relatives "over there", on TV Rick Simon, Michael Knight, Thomas Magnum - men with enough chest hair to line Bochum's main station with and enough testosterone to drive a medium-sized deer pack to insanity), for homework research we went to the public library, instead of Netflix we went to the video store on Friday nights, choosing movies purely by cover and description, the gender oddities were far away and climate change was still a theoretical side note of a few researchers.
In retrospect, a terribly rigid conservatism of values that put the brakes on many social and political developments, yet provided a supposed sense of stability and security at the time.

And this is where I find myself now with Giorgio. Sounds Italian, but smells American to me, as the addition of "Beverly Hills" might underscore. I associate Italy with a lightness of being, delicate citrus notes on a bed of mossy spice. Giorgio, on the other hand, pushes the full garden into your olfactory bulb, everything that grows there, roses, cloves, oranges, with stalk and stem, with leaf, flower and root, plus various woods, a beehive was also plundered.
Style-forming is for me here especially the triad of aldehydes in the head, patchouli in the heart and oak moss in the base. The is found in many fragrances of this genre.

A masculine fragrance through and through, tart, edgy, complex. Versatile, sometimes a little too loud. Nix with unisex, here is a man a man, no macho, but self-confident and down to earth.
This trinity with the diverse, aromatic, tart-green-spicy potpourri creeps into my nose, wraps itself around my brain and turns back time. I'm sitting next to B.A. Baracus in the GMC van, chasing the cat with ALF or discovering the world with Peter Lustig. Back when a lot of things were simpler, the good guys always won, and my biggest worry was that Mom wouldn't scold me too hard for the hole in my pants.

So fire up the DeLorean, grow some chest hair and maybe a moustache, put on this or a similar retro scent and let's hit the road. Back to the 80s, baby!

I still have an old hat in the closet. Excellent workmanship, not to get broken, warming in winter and with extremely comfortable fit.

Unfortunately, he is totally out of time. If you put it on nowadays, you look like a relic from another era, when there were still gentlemen who always held the door open for the lady, adjusted her chair and only sat down when she did.

It's a terrible shame that this old hat isn't really wearable today. You can hardly get such superior quality anywhere else, and if you do, it's for ten times the price. Gladly more. Depending on the manufacturer.

Couldn't a few changes be made to this old hat to catapult it into modern times? Maybe add something colorful, bright? Change the shape a bit?

But otherwise, please by all means leave it as is! This is quality that gives pleasure. We do not even want to talk about the price.

Grandpa, you were 38 then, driving a Ford Capri..

I have to start with 6 adjectives: fresh, green, soapy, herbaceous, sexy, old-school. And far away from the mainstream. Back in the mid-80s, when grandpa was still in his late 30s. In the early summer of 1985, freshly shaved in a Ford Capri with sunglasses, open shirt, chest hair scenting the wind with the windows rolled down. The song "Run to you" by Bryan Adams is playing on the radio in a glorious rubbing iron voice. That's exactly what this scent smells like. More about that later.

The bottle is designed very simple, fluted glass, like the taillights of the Ford Capri. On the glass the Giorgio emblem embossed. Haptically already trimmed to retro. I find super! The cap is "chromed" plastic (the Capri didn't have sooo much of it), which is absolutely acceptable at this price. The bottle contains 118 ml of the green fragrance.

To this I come now. You can imagine from my intro about how Giorgio for Men smells. The aldehydes with the citrusy notes immediately catch you like an aftershave and initiate the retro trip back to the 80s. The entry into the past happened Marty McFly-like with the clove and earthy patchouli, accompanied by the orris root and cedar, which quickly give the scent a lovely clean-soapy-green character. Cinnamon is only very subtly noticeable and doesn't affect the scent negatively in my opinion. The herbaceous oakmoss (probably man-made), rounds out the soapy character along with some amber and a smidge of honey (or vanilla?). After a few hours, this composition is still ever-present and becomes slightly sweeter without shedding the retro flair. From then on, the scent envelops you in a slightly spicy barbershop sphere. The shelf life is long (8 hours loosely), the sillage is strong, but pleasant.

Conclusion: I think this fragrance polarizes, even if it is highly rated here. The younger generation (under 25) will perhaps rather title this fragrance as old-fashioned "grandpa water". Over the age of 30, I'm sure it will appeal to many. I myself am 32 now and definitely don't feel too young to wear Giorgio For Men regularly in spring and summer (so right now in June). Because it is, perfect from March to September. I urge every man over the age of 25 to at least try the Giorgio and if possible add it to their collection. I dare you, I also bought it blind based on the reviews and youtubers. He is (I think) a must-have.
